Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1098 Huang Qiming's Greed: "Grandpa, I don't know how to make this!" (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Fang Yan glanced at Huang Qiming and said:
"Thanks for the compliment."

"This was a gift from a friend."

Huang Qiming paused, Fang Yan was telling him that the things in his hands were not for sale, so that he wouldn't have the thought of buying them after praising them.

This set of Tiangong needles was prepared for him by either the Ministry of Health or Director Liao when Ma Youxin brought Ma Wenying to Beijing for treatment last time.

Four of them burst on the spot, and it took Lao He to fix them.

The sea dragon needle was also brought from Fujian because Ma Youxin felt he was letting down the local dialect.

Finally, four more broken needles were obtained from somewhere and used to replace the broken ones, so now there are four more Tiangong needles.

The four extra handles are the Yin-Yang handles that Lao He repaired, and the others are the Bagua handles.

Of course, the difference is not noticeable unless you look closely.

Especially people you're meeting for the first time.

The fact that Huang Qiming recognized him at first glance shows that this old guy has seen a lot of the world.

Huang Qiming was also stumped by Fang Yan's words; it was obvious that Fang Yan was wary of him.

Let me state upfront that I'm not selling.

Say whatever you want from here on out.

At this moment, Jin Wubing curiously leaned over and asked:
"Aren't they all silver needles? What's the difference?"

Huang Qiming said with longing:

"That's completely different. The Tanka people's shamanic needles from before, and the Tiangong needles from now, are treasures that are rarely seen by ordinary people these days."

"In addition to the original function of silver needles, these all have some additional functions."

Jin Wubing glanced at Huang Qiming, who seemed to be feigning ignorance, and asked:
"What function?"

Huang Qiming also took the opportunity to come up, looked at the needle in Fang Yan's hand, and said:
"It is said that the Tanka people's shamanic needles contain magical powders that are constantly evaporating, which can make people more alert. As for this Heavenly Craft Needle... it is said to be able to resist all disease."

"What is sickness?" Jin Wubing exhibited the most typical characteristic of a novice, relentlessly asking questions.

Huang Qiming smiled and said:

"Haha, young man, it's no use for you to know now."

Jin Wubing rolled his eyes:

"Tch... Fine, don't tell me then."

Then he drew a card next to Fang Yan and asked:

"Dr. Fang, what is this 'pathogenic qi'?"

“Pathogenic qi is an abstract concept, but also a feeling. You can understand it as a unique qi emanating from the patient, which may cause discomfort to the doctor after acupuncture.”

At this moment, Lin Wenfeng said:
"It's not just discomfort; it could even lead to a serious illness."

Jin Wubing turned to look at Lin Wenfeng, only to hear the latter continue speaking:
"These needles were originally designed for this function, to isolate pathogenic factors and prevent the flow of pathogenic factors between doctors and patients."

Lin Suxin chimed in, saying:

“The old doctor at our family clinic has his own set of needles, which he treasures very much.”

"However, this kind of pathogenic energy is usually only encountered when a skilled moxibustion practitioner treats an illness; it is very difficult to encounter this situation otherwise."

Jin Wubing complained:

"Sickness? That sounds like a ghost story about finding a scapegoat."

Lin Wenfeng was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Haha, you can understand it that way too."

At this point, the dialect had already begun to be used for acupuncture.

According to his medical records, he did not use many acupuncture points.

Jin Wubing turned his head and stared intently at the needle in Fang Yan's hand. He wanted to see what kind of illness it was.

At this moment, Fang Yan picked up two Tiangong needles, found the Zusanli point, and inserted them 1.5 inches straight in. The unique "hissing" sound of the Tiangong needles was particularly noticeable at this time.

It's like puncturing someone and causing them to lose their breath.

Jin Wubing's eyes widened. Huang Qiming's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the two needles. He stared at the Tiangong Needles in the box with great longing.

The others also looked on with curiosity, wondering what the sound was. At this moment, Fang Yan could see the blush on Deqi's face, and then he began to perform acupuncture, applying the twisting and turning technique.

Next is the Dazhui acupoint, which is inserted obliquely 0.5 inches, and a hissing sound is heard again.

After obtaining the Qi, the dialect continues to perform the lifting and purging method.

Then, insert the needle perpendicularly to the Xuehai acupoints for 1.2 inches. After obtaining the Qi sensation, apply the even tonification and sedation method.

After finishing the procedure in dialect, he said to the patient:
"Leave the needles in for half an hour. Tell me any feelings you experience."

The patient nodded and said:

"At the point where the needle was inserted, it felt like there was a flow of energy, and the sensation was very strong."

Fang Yan continued:

"Very good, this is the sensation of Qi when the needle is inserted. Qi comes from within your own body and will help you deal with the problems in your body now."

"Next, I will put needles in your ears. You will feel it too. Just tell me what you feel."

The patient nodded upon hearing this.

Then Fang Yan started to peel off the earring stickers.

Taking advantage of the lull, Jin Wubing turned to the others and asked:

"Did you hear that sound just now? It sounded like air was leaking out. What was that?"

Huang Qiming, the old man, was noticeably more talkative today, saying:

"It's a unique characteristic of the Tiangong needle, and it's a sound that only genuine needles can produce. The sound is clear, clearer than anything I've heard before. It must be a newly made set of needles, without any wear and tear."

He was extremely envious:

"Great stuff! Great stuff indeed!"

He You, who was standing to the side, nodded and said:

"There's a reason why they can cure one patient after another. With these things in hand, it's like adding wings to a tiger."

"In this respect, foreign countries really can't compare."

Hearing this, Huang Qiming nodded seriously. Thinking about those treasures of traditional Chinese medicine abroad, although foreigners had taken quite a few, it was still too few. These treasures, which few people knew about, had not been able to leave the country at all.

Even if he, as a university professor, has connections, there's nothing he can do.

The truly good stuff is still in China!

Just then, Fang Yan began preparing to apply ear acupuncture patches to the patient, completely ignoring what others were saying.

He was thinking that since the ear needles weren't protected by the dead jade of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Needle, he didn't want them to end up hurting him.

Hearing He You and Huang Qiming's conversation, he turned to them and asked:

"Auricular acupuncture is quite advanced abroad. I wonder if you two gentlemen have ever been exposed to it?"

The two were slightly taken aback when they heard Fang Yan's words.

Suddenly, a glint appeared in his eyes.

Is this kid having trouble locating the ear acupoints?
The two exchanged a glance, and Huang Qiming said to Fang Yan:

“Indeed, auricular acupuncture has been practiced abroad for many years. This is the first time I've heard of auricular acupuncture in China. I wonder who Dr. Fang is…”

Fang Yan cupped his hands in greeting:

"To be honest, I'm a bit unsure about this area. I wonder if I could ask Professor Huang and my maternal uncle for help?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Qiming and He You burst into laughter.

Good lad, you've finally run into someone who can't do it, haven't you?
He You said:

"No need to be so polite. Tell me, how would you like us to help?"

He said in dialect:

"Please put the earring back on for me."
